“Love Is Blue” (Claudine Longet) #71 3/30/1968

There were a number of vocal versions of the recent Paul Mauriat instrumental hit, which itself was based on the vocal version of a Eurovision Song Contest entry sung by Vicky Leandros. This one was done in French by Claudine Longet, the then-wife of Andy Williams. They met when Claudine was 18 and a dancer in the Folies Bergère revue at the Tropicana on the Las Vegas Strip. Her car had broken down and the much older Andy gave her a hand. Some first date.
